Installation

There are a few ways to install the plug-in:

cd into the project directory and run make.
Build the 'Thesi' scheme in Xcode.
Download the latest release and put it inside ~/Library/Application Support/MacDown/PlugIns

Headings

Thesi will convert any # and ## headings to their respective underline headings, and ensure any existing underline headings are pretty (contain the perfect number of = or -). Nothing fancy.

Callouts

Callouts are a short piece of text stylized with the intent of attracting attention.

The syntax of a 'callout-name' callout is:

<callout-name> message

For example, a syntactic 'note' callout would look like so:

<Note> This is a note callout.

And after invoking Thesi, will render as so:

📌 Note: This is a note callout.

The currently available callouts are:

📌 Note: This is a note callout.

⚠️ Warning: This is a warning callout.

🎡 Try: This is a try callout.

📣 Important: This is an important callout.

🔥 This is a fire callout.

🐞 Bug: This is a bug callout.

Links

📣 Important: Your flavor of Markdown must support raw HTML.

⚠️ Warning: Not supported by GitHub-flavored Markdown.

Want your Markdown links to open in a new tab? No problem, just prepend your normal Markdown links with a $ and Thesi will do the rest.

$[Text](URL)

After Thesi:

<a href="URL" target="_blank">Text</a>

Images

📣 Important: Your flavor of Markdown must support raw HTML.

Thesi also simplifies formatting images by providing syntax for specifying image dimensions and center alignment.

Dimensions

To set the image height and/or width, just add the appropriate attributes after the image URL.

![Alternate Text](/image/source, width=100px, height=100px)

Thesi will replace the Markdown image syntax with its equivalent <img> element.

Center Align

Centering an image is as simple as prepending an extra !.

!![Alternate text](/image/source)

Thesi will nest the image in a center-aligned <p> element.
